BRIEF SUMMARY The 2016–2020 capacity utilization rates, inpatient circulation, and surgical volumes of 7 general hospitals in Kosovo serve as a regional guide for private healthcare investments. According to official data, while public hospital bed counts remained flat in the 2,000 range, annual inpatient numbers exceeded 86,000 before the pandemic, and more than 18,000 surgical interventions were performed annually. Capacity utilization rates reaching 60% to 79% in regions such as Prizren, Mitrovica, and Vushtrri indicate a clear need and market gap for private inpatient treatment facilities, surgical medical centers, and post-operative rehabilitation facilities.
